How hard is it to actually get into the rule34/hentai/furry/porn industry? How many pics on average would you have to draw for free before getting any money from it? (Patreon, commissions etc.)
Would you make more with just "normal" fan art?
If you're getting into art because you want money you're barking up the wrong tree. It's a high risk, low reward scenario where artists right now that are better than you may ever be are struggling.
>>2349496
Even the furry/fetish ones? I'm sure that fine artists are struggling, but the ones who o it only for fanservice, drawing shitty anime characters etc.

SUPER POSE Books has never been scanned as a whole and uploaded in the murrican side of the internet.
And I also can't read chinese so the whole bibliography of SP books are probably on baidu already

That's better than anything i will do in my entire life.

Beginner Thread
Because we should not have to make new threads or post in draw threads with our fundamental exercises. Feel free to post even the smallest exercise you have done to show you are still trying, do not give up.
Do not forget to PLEASE RESIZE and crop your images before uploading them. 1kpx is fine.

Questions go in the QUESTION THREAD
This is for posting studies & getting critique.
>Thread study: Try to draw/paint the opening or any other following images.
Feel free to post your original works as well if you're a baddie.
TRY TO BE MORE ACTIVE AND GIVE PEOPLE SOME FEEDBACK - many studies are left unreplied, which is a bit sad and can be quite demotivating for the people that try their best to improve, but are left directionless.
Respect those giving you advice and if you suck know that you'll never make itâ„¢.

What is /ic/s thoughts upon Cy Twombly (including similar artists and their work) and Abstract Expressionism as a whole?
>>2354739
as far as I am concerned abstract art tends to fit one of two categories, very good or very bad. and I rank those categories based on the amount of time/effort/layers/details that go into a piece, and for that reason Twombly's work fits into both categories of great and fucking garbage.
>>2354819
Couldn't agree more personally, thanks for your input
>>2354739
I love Twombly and the other action painters, but the color field artists (and anything tending toward minimalism) generally bore me.
Do any of you now where can I download all the videos from Noah's art camp?
The old youtube links save the first one are now listed as private.

CGPeers
You could also save time and not bother with downloading that pile of shit. Its probably the worst "course" I've ever seen, I stopped watching it after second episode and just skimmed through the rest. Theres literally zero actual knowledge taught during it, it's all basically
>study old masters kek x25, thanks for your money fgt
On one hand I feel sorry for people that actually paid for it, on the other I believe in fairness of natural selection, they deserved to get ripped off by this con artist.
>>2353798
Well I can't find anything regarding noah's art camp in cgpeers so a direct link would be pretty much appreciated.
I can't really testify for the quality of the videos but if you can tell me of a better alternative of a course that would be great.
>>2354253
just study the fucking old masters m8
How does one promote OC?
Say you like making fantasy drawings, where do you go to promote them?
When doing fan art, it's sort of easy, since there's loads of groups, forums and sites dedicated to the material that you're doing fan art from.
But when it's OC it's sort of a dead end, either your established fan base embraces it or it completely gets swept under the rug.
Start making youtube videos, tutorials, speedpaintings, etc. This will attract wannabe-artist normies, and slowly you will grow an audience. Remember, the more often you upload, the better. Finally, promote yourself before you start your videos.
It's the the best way, sadly...
>>2346959
I would suggest starting an Instagram and a Tumblr. For tumblr I've noticed that consistency and just being social are going to be your best bets. The threads here on 4chan are a good place to start building a following too, so promo it on here, but also on Tumblr threads in like /fa/ and /soc/ too.
Fan art is easy to promote because it already has something that a general audience will connect with.
OC can be just as easy to promote, given you plant some sort of emotional connection to the public. Humor is - IMO - the easiest way to do this. Generic sci-fi/fantasy art is much, much more difficult to get people to care about. You have to do something to it that makes it significantly stand out if you want people to care about it.
For example, OP's image is a great example of technical skill, but the subject matter is simply not interesting to most people. However, replace the dragon with an over-sized house cat and I GUARANTEE it will get thousands and thousands of likes/comments/reblogs, if you share it properly.
When do references crossover into cheating?
When ever they are used with no intention on the part of the artist to learn from them.
Never, unless you outright copy them. When drawing from imagination you are using references stored in your memory.
>is your result good
then no
>is it bad or you're making lots of money and making other artist jealous?
then yes

Does anyone know of a cheap way to set up a camera for streaming purposes? I'd like to start streaming my drawings for fun .
You're probably better off asking /p/
They will know more about how exposure and all that works with the camera.
You could also ask some of the traditional art twitch streamers as they will have found a way to do what you seek to do
More of this art style, plus, what the fuck is it?
its called being creative, you can do it. I assumed your amazed by the inking and stippling
